Leviticus 19:5
3 Each of you must respect his mother and father, and you must keep My Sabbaths. I am the LORD your God.
4 Do not turn to idols or make for yourselves molten gods. I am the LORD your God.
When you sacrifice a peace offering to the LORD, you shall offer it for your acceptance.
6 It shall be eaten on the day you sacrifice it, or on the next day; but what remains on the third day must be burned up.
7 If any of it is eaten on the third day, it is tainted and will not be accepted.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
